It was 1st time for me when I answered questions from the audience as a photographer.

“Tell us about yourself and your profession.

I’m a photographer. I’ve started to take pictures in a school time long before digital period in the photo industry and had to do with films only.  Also, I’ve got professional education as a designer. Currently, l am most interested in fashion and art photography, which allows me to realize my creative ideas. 

What are the pros and cons of your work?

Sometimes it seems to me that my photos and everything that I do is boring and not interesting or has already been implemented by someone else. But the main thing is not to stop on my way and move on.

What do you like to do in your free time? 

Everything that happens to me in my free time — watching movies, visiting contemporary art exhibitions or theatrical productions — is somehow transformed later in my work through photographs. And of course, I learn a lot by attending classes of industry  leaders. 

Do you have your own motto, mission? 

As my mission, I’d like to show beauty — the harmony of form, colour and humans as the main element and its interaction with the world.

Where should a beginner start if they want to follow in your footsteps?

It is simple: watch the works of recognized masters of visual art, create your own style and do a lot of practice.”
